When you think of an engagement ring, what do you see? Do you see the classic round cut solitaire diamond in a gold band? Do you see a princess cut diamond adorned with small diamonds surrounding it? Maybe you are a trend setter and you see a pink diamond on a platinum band. Regardless of what you envision in your head, engagement rings can be made in just about any way you like in this day and age. In fact, a popular type of engagement ring is one that is custom designed by the groom-to-be.
Design Your Engagement Ring
Let me explain custom design. In the past, custom designing a piece of jewelry was a time consuming and very expensive process, where each piece had to be individually crafted by hand with only a drawing or description as the template. Over the years, computers have begun to play a huge part in custom design. Your jeweler can take your ideas, input them into the system and work with you to create a 3-D image of exactly what you want. If there are things you need to change, with merely the click of a button, he or she can make the changes until the image is perfect. Now the fun part starts. Although you have to be somewhat patient with custom design jewelry (it can take 6-8 weeks to create your piece), it is far less expensive than it used to be because of the computer software that creates the image. This takes out the need to create a piece by description, only to have the customer say that it is not correct and send it back to revise. The drawings are so intricate that most custom designed pieces of jewelry are 100% correct when they are received back in the store. Imagine her surprise when you present her with a
Custom Designed Engagement Ring that you created based on what you have learned about her, her tastes, her beauty and her visions. Imagine her joy when she realizes that no one out there has a ring just like hers. Imagine her love when she sees how much work you put into making the perfect ring just for her. Imagine your future as you look down to slide the ring on her left ring finger. Imagine it all. Now get out there and start designing that ring!
